I read the help file a few times. It's almost the same as the CS4 one. And I'm having no problems in CS4. In CS5 the blue drop zone just cannot appear. I tried everything, like, for hours now. Must be some kind of bug...

i am experiencing this same issue. my suspicion would be that some other program you are running (at the same time) is interfering with PS CS5. In my case i was running iShowU and when i quit this program the docking works just fine. when i start iShowU back up, i get no blue docking zone as you described.

Turning blue or not turning blue, they will NOT dock once one is separated to float. This is very annoying. Just what exactly has changed?

EDIT: I actually just seem to have fixed it, if anyone else comes with this problem -- I believe I had my Text Tool in a text box on a layer -- a lot of things were grayed out -- I had to get out of that text layer and highlight a different layer... THEN I was able to dock my panels together. Sigh. Hope this helps someone else! : )
